At that time, the concept of treating diseases was very weak, and more people thought about whether they had done something wrong and led to God's punishment. Moreover, the medical level of doctors at that time was not very high, which can be said to be very barbaric and rude. No one will doubt that the disease is aggravated by the low level of medical technology, but it is God's will. For a long time, doctors in Europe were all famous black doctors in the world, and they only paid money and didn't work, which was very rude.
If you look back at history, you will find that compared with ancient western medicine, the practice of taking medicine and acupuncture treatment in Chinese medicine is so gentle. In the past, although western medicine was essentially seeking health for patients, for trauma, western medicine would rather remove the injured limb as a whole than apply herbs to treat you slowly. At that time, the famous bloodletting therapy was almost universally participated. If someone feels uncomfortable, they will bleed. This popularity even reached the point where hairdressers in ancient western countries worked part-time as bloodletting services.
We have now understood that in previous foreign countries, living was basically by luck, and doctors were unable to cure your illness. A considerable number of people died of wound infection during the treatment. These are all mistakes made in the age of ignorance without modern medical knowledge.
